Window Slide Channel

[JPC]

Hi All.
Could someone here please find me the contact details of the manufacturer/extruder of this channelling.

H=12.6mm
W=12.6mm
Material thickness=1.2mm

My son should be visiting the UK soon and I hope he can then collect some lengths for me.

This item is unobtanium in ZA.

Thanks
JP

I think the UK stuff is slightly different, but readily available. Is this what you're after?

I have got plastic stuff in my rocky mountain window and that seems much better, i don't know where you get it from though Is it some thing to do with the series II club or series III club?

Das, the OEM lookalike stuff is available here, but it doesn't last, max 5 years, and I'm getting tired of redoing them, "them" being 3 sets of front door windows, 2 behind cab and 2 for a station wagon.

Wildebees, do you have more info on the plastic channels?

The channeling in the pic is from a Defender front door, I need lots.

Thanks Wildebees.

I'm going for 1/2" x 1/2" PVC, OD. I see on UK and USA sites that it is a common size. Everything here is metric, except old Land Rovers.

Today I measured up the window channel requirements to refurbish all my Series sliding windows.....44m! and that is excluding the IIIS. (haven't yet decided on what configuration it will be, but I think its time for a soft top)

I'll have to find a local supplier.....

I now have a slight dilemma, maybe a member here can help.

The pvc channel in the dimensions needed is not available here in SA, but some companies are willing to extrude but at exorbitant costs.

I have found a manufacturer in Ipswich that already has the tooling and can make a 500m run at gbp.50/meter and in black. That is a very reasonable price, but I only need 50m!

I am prepared to take on 250m and hope someone here could take the remaining 250m.

Any takers?
